Once all of the requested information is received by the Office of Financial Aid, a student's eligibility for financial aid will be determined. A student's Financial Aid Award Letter will posted to the LECOM Student Portal at https://portal.lecom.edu or will be mailed to the student. The Financial Aid Award Letter details student eligibility for financial aid and includes loan application instructions.

Financial Aid award amounts are estimated based on information provided by the student. If the information provided is incorrect, loan eligibility may need to be adjusted.

Continued eligibility for educational loans is contingent upon the student making satisfactory academic progress.
